Welcome back from break! We had a great first week back. Our theme was super science, and we learned and explored many new things! The preschoolers loved all of the hands on activities and crafts. Take a look at what a great week we had! Group Activities!During our group activities this week we explored many elements of science! The preschoolers put pieces of tissue paper into a small jar and tipped it upside down into a tub of water to discover that the paper stayed dry! Ms. Anne went around the circle and gave each preschooler a different item such as a feather, golf ball, and paper plate! We predicted if one would fall to the ground faster by two preschoolers getting onto chairs and dropping their items to see if their predictions were correct! The preschoolers separated different materials into a category of magnetic or not magnetic. They tested those predictions by using a magnet wand to see what stuck! Table Activities!The preschoolers loved exploring all the different types of science during our table activities! At the language table we practiced letters by using play dough to create the shapes of the letters. We also searched through a tub of orbeez to find foam letters and match them to the letters we saw on the paper. At the creation table the preschoolers used a variety of materials to create a robot! At the art table we made bubble art by blowing into a container of water and paint with a straw to make a bunch of bubbles. Next we set a piece of paper on top of the bubbles leaving the shape of the bubble! We also made hearts with baking soda and vinegar and food coloring. The preschoolers made salt name art by writing their name in glue, then adding salt, and finally decorating with drops of food coloring. We also made robots that could walk with yarn and straws! At the science table we explored the idea of static electricity to see what can stick and what cannot stick to a balloon! We also made bouncy balls! Other Centers!Throughout the rest of the classroom we had so much fun building and engaging in fantasy play in the house and kitchen! The preschoolers loved playing in the snow at the sensory table! Just For Fun!Rainy Day Activity!
